Full Transcription
Happy to be here just the same for a nice morning chill space.
Well, thank you for being here in the morning.
I know I probably wouldn't want to get up and instantly start chatting business, but that's just me.
Yeah, no, I mean, chatting business is my life at this point, you know, I live on spaces, so I'm all about it.
Yeah, no worries. If you do want to pin any tweets, if you do want to pin any tweets, you can just do it now.
Yeah, I'll be pinning up some art explanations, so I'll just go for it and just let people know what they have to do to end with that giveaway whenever it's up there as well.
Okay, perfect. I'm also going to pin a tweet that has a video attached to it, as long as you're okay with it, because I want people to be able to see the video of our builder.
Is that the same one that you did in the alpha share space?
Yes, yeah, same video.
Yeah, thanks. All right, let me go find this tweet. I'll be right back.
Oh, I just realized the one I'm looking for is actually our pinned tweet. There we go. I can just scroll to the top. That's helpful. There we go.
Okay, I'll be putting the announcements around, making sure all the spaces and people get here.
Anybody who is here now as a listener, please go to the tweet for this actual space and just retweet it.
But, you know, I'm sure there are people who are following you that just don't know that Slice Sunday number seven is on.
Let's try to get as many people as possible. We have a partner project called the Meta Community, and they're hosting an AMA right now.
So I think we'll be down about five or six people who usually listen in as well.
So that's pretty funny. But thank you for Bird Builders and Pirate J with the bad community, the bad peeps who are already here.
I will actually just start play some music. I'm going to be playing. It's called Cornfield Chase by Hans Zimmer.
I'll play that music. It's about two minutes long. And then just after that, I'll just get into it, see who joins.
You know, we'll keep the really keep the announcements going out there so that we can get all the projects up here and have as good a space as possible.
So just enjoy this music while you wait.
Let's do this music while you're listening.
Let's do this music while you're listening.
Let's do this music while you're listening.
Let's do this music while you're listening.
Always a good start to the space when we can get a bit of Hans Zimmer playing.
I'm just making sure we've got everyone ready and ready to go.
We have a couple of people requesting to speak. If you do have any sort of questions, we can bring you up.
But that's just after the projects that are up here already.
We have finished speaking. So as we go along, I'm sure the space will more people will join.
But it's not really about the numbers today. It's sort of about the actual projects who are here.
And right now we have the bird builders and then bad peeps and representing them as Pirate J.
So later on tonight, we have a couple more projects.
One, as you can see in the poster, one of them actually can't make it is the cool cones.
We're hopefully going to get them on. I know a couple of people were actually excited to listen to them speak tonight.
We'll be hopefully getting them on in our next space, which won't be on Sunday.
But I'll sort of explain and get into that about what's happening next week with this usual space that we have every week.
So just going to begin as the space, you know, progresses. Apologies, sorry.
So you may have been in spaces with these people before.
I believe bird builders and bad peeps, you are brand new to Slice Sunday.
So thank you for being here. Hopefully it will be great and we can really learn about who you guys are.
I know a lot of my community will have absolutely no idea who you guys are.
So bring us really from the basics of your project and bring us right up to speed with what you're doing now.
Now, this is your official warning that although this is only our seventh space, we are actually experienced hosts.
We did host projects before this and spaces before this.
So don't come up here and think you can just sort of butt in and start speaking or interrupt people.
We will just remove you as speaker role if you try to come up here and do any silly shenanigans.
I know a lot of people like to do that when they see a big crowd sort of gathered around this sort of space.
But I'm sure none of the projects here tonight would ever think of doing something like that.
So as the projects come up, you will have a minimum of five minutes to speak.
That is a minimum.
Today, please take 10, 15 minutes, you know, get all the information about your project to the world to Slice Sunday.
This will be recorded.
We'll be shilling this space long after it's finished.
But I don't want you guys to just sit there and read scripts.
A lot of people might come up here just representing.
But I want you to actually give your explanation on what your project is doing rather than just sort of reading a script off and tell us why we should actually mint your project or sweep your project if you've already minted.
So finally, questions are encouraged.
I have no doubt that I will be asking questions to each of the projects throughout the space.
Please don't be shy.
This is a safe space.
We'll be bringing lots of people up throughout the night.
Even if you don't have a project to shill, just come up here and you can add any input or, you know, whatever you'd like to do.
I don't know.
I'm the one hosting this space.
So if you just want to come up and sit in the speaker role just so people can see you, sure.
Why don't you do that as well?
So speakers, please.
I see we have loads of pinned tweets already.
Continue to pin tweets.
And then if there are any giveaways that you need to explain throughout your speech, please do that as well.
So I'm going to shut up.
So I will let one of the speakers go first and then we'll sort of look back around to a slice of pie.
I'll explain what a slice of pie is for anybody who's new to it and actually announce some major piece of alpha, which will be the date that our pre-sale is starting.
It is a lot sooner than people are expecting.
So I'm excited for that.
But that will be the big piece of alpha.
And then usually what we like to do in this space as well is give a wee bit of crypto news, like what's happening at the minute.
This week we'll be talking about artificial intelligence.
So basically the dangers with it and why some people, some big company founders actually want to slow artificial intelligence development just for a little bit.
But there's more on that later.
So today we would actually like to start with first come, first serve.
We will be starting with bird builders.
If you guys would like to start off tonight, please give us, as I was saying, your full explanation of the project and what you guys are actually doing.
And I don't think you have minted yet, but you do have some exciting stuff coming in future.
So if you'd just like to take the floor.
Absolutely.
Or let me just check with you first, though, because I think you had mentioned there was a project that had time constraints.
Are they one of the ones that ended up not coming?
Yeah, it was Cool Cones.
They had the time constraint.
Oh, gotcha.
OK, yeah, no, perfect.
I would love to share some information.
Just just really quick to touch on what you said about AI.
Have people not seen the Terminator?
Come on.
I know exactly.
They have so many movies about why AI is bad.
Why do they keep trying to develop it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, people are not.
We saw this coming.
But anyway, we'll get to that later.
So my name is Christine and I'm one of the core team members for Bird Builders.
So I've pinned a few tweets up to the top.
We've got our giveaway tweet.
I've got a tweet with a video that I'll have you guys look at.
But I also pinned our pre-ment link up there for anybody who wants to get on our allow list.
And I just want to apologize in advance.
I've been having some really severe allergies.
So I've got like a scratchy throat.
And if I need to like, you know, cough or something, I'll try to mute so that I'm not blasting you guys.
But so Bird Builders is it's a Moonbirds expansion project.
And we like the word expansion better than derivative because we're not really your typical derivative project where you, you know, take a character from another project and throw some new traits on it.
You know, we're a little more unique than that.
But what we're doing is we are allowing you to custom build full-bodied versions of Moonbirds NFTs.
Our developers have created an NFT builder that allows you to choose all of your own traits prior to minting.
It's really innovative.
We've got some really intelligent, high-level developers.
You know, it was really complex to build.
So we're really excited to be sharing this with everyone.
And I'll explain a little bit how the builder works.
If you would like, I know there's a bunch of tweets pinned up to the top.
But if you just kind of scroll, I think, let me see.
One, two, three.
The fourth tweet over is a tweet that I posted that's got a little video attached to it.
So just click on that video.
It'll give you a nice visual representation of the builder.
You'll be able to see some of the traits in there.
But the way it works is when you go to mint your Bird Builders NFT, you'll go into the builder and you'll type in the token ID number of an existing Moonbirds NFT.
And the builder is going to pull all of the original artwork from that NFT.
So you'll have from the shoulder up the original artwork and from the shoulder down, you'll be customizing everything else.
So there's all different accessories that you can choose from, all different bottom traits, all different body styles that you can choose from.
The artists really did an excellent job with the art.
You know, we wanted to honor the original Moonbirds art.
So we really wanted some good quality art, you know, to match their pixel art.
We wanted a lot of variety.
We loaded the builder up with a ton of different traits with all different rarities and stuff.
So there's a lot going on there.
And like I said, we're honoring the original art.
We're not changing anything that you're going to see in the original NFT.
So the builder is going to automatically complete anything that is existent in that original artwork.
So if you type in the token number of a Moonbird NFT that's wearing a leather jacket, the builder is going to automatically finish that, for example.
If you've got a bird that's nude, it's going to automatically give you a nude bird.
And like I said before, you'll get to choose from all different body styles.
But it's just it's not going to change anything from the original art.
Excuse me.
So the other cool thing that we're doing is we've gamified the whole mint process.
So we're going to give Moonbirds holders the first opportunity to access the builder so that they can mint full body versions of their birds if they'd like to.
We do have several Moonbirds holders that are already interested in this.
So but the catch for them is that they're going to have to there's a there's a quota of 100 mints per hour that they're going to need to maintain.
And once that quota hasn't been met, the mint is going to move.
It's going to open up to the general public.
And at that point, anybody will be able to mint full bodied versions of any Moonbirds that haven't already been expanded on.
So there's a lot of different potential scenarios that can come out of that.
We think it's going to be really fun and exciting, you know, between the rarities of the original Moonbirds NFTs and the rarities of all the different traits that we've put in the builder.
You know, what rarities are going to end up being created at the end of the whole process.
And with the timing situation, you know, if you're excuse me, if you're a Moonbirds holder and you've got like a really high ranking Moonbird NFT, if you don't get to the builder early enough, you know,
if you if that quota doesn't get met and you haven't expanded on your bird, somebody else may have the opportunity to actually expand on that bird before you get to it.
Or, you know, if you if you don't get there early enough, you may not get some of the more rare traits.
So you could end up with like a really low ranking bird builders NFT, whereas somebody who's not a holder could end up expanding on a really high ranking NFT and or, you know,
get some of those really rare traits in the builder and end up with a super high ranking bird builder NFT.
And then there's always the situation of, you know, if holders don't end up minting the full bodied versions of their birds,
maybe they're going to want to try to snag some of these, you know, from people that did expand on them.
So, you know, like I said, there's a lot of different scenarios that can come from that.
We just wanted the whole experience to be really fun and exciting and like, you know,
just the experience of being able to build your own NFT from the ground up, you know, choosing all of your own traits.
So, as I mentioned, also, I did pin up our pre mint link to the top.
So we're doing a 250 free mints giveaway.
We're going to give away a free mint in the space here, but there's still a lot of opportunity to get your mint for free if you don't win in the space here.
We're just really wanting this to be accessible to as many people as possible.
It's not just for Moonbirds holders.
You know, we've got the mint price set really reasonably at 0.025 for Moonbirds holders, 0.035 for the general public.
We're doing a lot of free mints.
If you're interested in getting your mint for free, if you want to be on the allow list, you can just join through that pre mint link.
We're not asking people to, you know, jump through all these hoops to get on the allow list.
You just have to click the link and sign up.
So if you sign up through the pre mint link, it'll get you on the early birds allow list.
It will also automatically enter you into the 250 free mints giveaway.
So at this point, your odds are good, you know.
And yeah, we just we we know the feeling of like the founders were in a situation like part of the inspiration of this project and part of the reason why we're wanting to make it so accessible for everybody is that the founders were in a situation with the Moonbirds project.
Right before they launched their mint, you know, they had the opportunity to mint a Moonbird and they both missed that opportunity.
And then the project just skyrocketed right after they minted, you know, and so they were really bummed out that they had missed out on that.
And I think most of us, if not all of us, have had that experience to some degree.
So, you know, that was that was kind of part of the inspiration for the project.
Like if there are people that are wanting to get involved with the Moonbirds community or people that are fans of the Moonbirds art who maybe, you know, miss their opportunity or the Moonbirds are out of their price range.
You know, this is just we're kind of functioning as a as a bridge in a way to their project in their community.
But this is not, you know, we're we're starting with this Moonbirds expansion project, but we really have a lot of stuff that we want to release in the future.
The builder is is just kind of the first thing.
Like I said, we've got some great developers.
We've got, you know, some great artists.
The core team is really fantastic.
There's a lot of stuff that's been being worked on over the last year or so.
So we don't want to release this project and then kind of drop the whole thing.
You know, we're planning on continuing to to build and innovate the space as long as we can.
You know that that's our passion.
That's what we want to be doing.
So we're we're just we're definitely here for the long run, for sure.
I'm trying to think if I missed anything else or or maybe I don't know if you have any questions at this point or anything you feel like you'd like me to expand on.
Yeah, I do, actually.
So what is the total collection size?
So it's 10,000.
And the reason why it's 10,000 is because we're matching the original Moonbirds project.
So they are 10,000.
Therefore, we're 10,000 because it's going to be one for one.
So every Moonbirds NFT will be able to be expanded upon one time.
Right.
OK, yeah.
So obviously the trade, this bird builder sort of new development that you're coming out where people can actually make their own bird.
I think if I'm correct, there would be more birds possible than NFTs in the collection.
So there would be a lot of different like combinations that people could make.
So there will be NFTs with combinations that won't actually be minted.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Like, are you saying there's going to be more than 10,000?
There's a possibility.
Yeah.
So there would be the total collection.
But say if I'm just I just sort of watch that video.
If people want to mint one with a leather jacket, as you said, or like a nude one or something.
What kind of traits can they actually mint?
Like, are there 10 different ones they can add on or?
Oh, I see.
So there's three different categories that you're able to choose from with, you know, each time you mint.
Each original Moonbirds NFT, you can only expand on that once.
So once somebody gets to any particular Moonbird and expands on that and mints it, that original Moonbird can no longer be expanded on.
As far as the traits, you've got three different categories.
So you've got body style, accessories and bottom traits.
So you'll be able to pick one trait from each of those three categories and then you'll mint your NFT.
Does that answer your question?
Right. Yeah.
Okay.
It was just sort of the way I had it pictured in my head was you could just go on there and mint sort of any NFT you like and just add the traits as you want.
But clearly with the sort of add on feature, it doesn't really work like that.
No, that's perfect.
Yeah.
Obviously, I was checking, which was a bit strange for me.
You guys don't have a Discord.
You're just really, you are really pushing these Twitter spaces.
You've been on them a lot.
I have seen your project on lots of Twitter spaces in the past few days.
But what is like the future plan?
So once you sort of do this collection, will you just keep going with Twitter?
Will you go into new projects?
Like you obviously have a very experienced development team.
So there will be a big future for you guys, I'm sure.
Yeah.
So initially, and just to give you a little bit of background, we've got like our team consists of six people right now.
There's three of us that are kind of like the core team members and more front facing and doing a lot of the, excuse me, the marketing and the content and all that kind of stuff.
Um, I myself, um, signed onto this project maybe about six months after the development of everything had started, right?
So initially the, the, the original founders, um, what their idea was to, um, contribute to the Moonbirds, um, community rather than take away from it.
Um, if, if you guys know anything about Moonbirds, they, their founder made their project CCO, which means, you know, typically like the standard with, with NFT projects is like, if you are a holder, you know, if you buy into the project, if you're holding one or more of the NFTs, you have a certain amount of rights, right?
To the intellectual property and you can create a derivative project if you're a holder, um, with CCO, the, the rights and the ability to create derivatives and do all kinds of things.
With their artwork extend to non-holders as well.
So it was a controversial decision.
You know, they, they had a lot of holders that were really in favor of it.
And then they had some holders that were kind of not in favor of it.
Um, I think for obvious reasons, right.
There's, there's a lot to that.
Um, but so they were kind of wanting to function as a bridge, like I said before, you know, not necessarily wanting to take away from their, their project or their community.
Um, I think as we've been, you know, going along here, there's been a lot more talk about discord.
That was the original reason why we weren't going to do a discord server.
Um, and, and also because we just, there seems to be a lot of people who are really disenfranchised with discord right now.
There's, there's just really mixed feelings.
So we're seeing more projects release where they're not doing discord servers and they're keeping it to Twitter.
So that was kind of the idea.
Um, but what I will say is that we, especially myself, I mean, I'm, I'm a discord gal myself.
I, I, I love discord.
So, but we're, we're not opposed to discord, um, at all.
Like as we move forward, if the bird builders community is wanting a discord server, then, then we'll build one, you know, we're not opposed to it by any means.
It's just kind of the, the direction that they had decided to go in, in the first place.
Um, we're really focused right now on getting eyes on the project.
You know, we're, we're kind of trying to gauge how long it will take us to get enough traction because we want to do the mint properly, you know?
So discord is kind of like, I guess, up in the air at this point.
Um, as far as the future, yes, we're, we're definitely going to continue.
There's, there's a lot of possibilities that, um, there's a lot of different directions we could go in with the builder.
Um, this is not by any means going to be like a one and done kind of thing.
Um, we may end up, we probably will end up, um, moving on to other blue chip projects, you know, for people who are wanting to expand on the NFTs that they have with other projects.
Um, we will most likely also release some of our own original artwork where you can use the builder to create your own NFT.
Um, we've had a lot of people reach out to us with questions about outsourcing the, the builder, you know, outsourcing the technology and, and just allowing other people to create their own builders or use our builder for their projects.
Um, so a lot of different stuff in the works, you know, a lot of different possibilities, we're just kind of taking it a day at a time because, you know, we really do want to do this the right way.
Um, and, and make this, this kind of experience accessible to as many people as possible.
Absolutely. Yeah. So thank you for coming up here. If anybody does have a question, uh, you can jump in now or we can look back to the bird builders just, uh, after a couple more minutes, you know, if you, you don't want to just interrupt right now.
But thank you for that explanation, Christie. That's really good. Uh, and we do have another space as well next week.
If you guys sort of want to get the full slice, uh, Sunday experience next week, and we can really, uh, push that space even more.
But just this week, I unfortunately had a bit of IRL stuff on Saturday. I had to attend a funeral.
So it's just been a bit crazy, uh, these past couple of days, but we will be back on track and even bigger and better for next week.
We want to break records every single week with this space slice Sunday, number six.
It was our biggest one ever. We had, I can't even remember the figures though. I think we had over like 50, 60 people listening at once, which is huge for our six, uh, weekly space.
You know, we'd only been doing it for a month and a half. And of course with our, the size of our Twitter will be at 1000, 2000 followers in future, you know, hopefully getting up to that 10 K mark, uh, in the next couple of sort of six to seven months time.
So that's, uh, what's coming for a slice of pie, but thank you for being here. Uh, we're builders and we will actually now move on to the second space.
We have the second project we had up here today, who are the bad peeps. So the pirate Jay, as you can see up in the speakers is going to be representing the bad peeps.
He is their founder, co-founder. Am I correct in that pirate Jay?
Yes. Actually one of my partners is down a listener text. There's three of us. There's myself, Tex and legend, who has been a little busy with his, uh, in real life duties.
He runs multiple businesses. So Tex and I've been kind of running the show for the last little while, but legend is another one you'll see running around quite often.
All right. So try founder. Very good. I haven't run into many of those, but, uh, please take the floor. You have five, 10, even more minutes.
If you want to explain properly, the whole bad network and what bad peeps are doing at the minute. So please go ahead.
All right, y'all. I'm going to start from the beginning. You gave me enough time that I could probably run through just about everything.
So originally we started with the OG baby alien division that started last February, minted, um, a 3,333 piece collection that we minted out in about two, two and a half weeks back when things were really booming.
I think crow was sitting at between 50 and 60 cents, which was pretty high for crow. It's right. It's right around the seven cent mark right now. So, um, it did really well.
So at the end of that mint out legend was one of the original founders took 80,000 crow and anybody that minted three or more got 300 crow given back to them.
He, and this is back before we had anybody to be able to do it automatically. He did it all personally. He went through everybody's wallet. Anybody that had three or more, he, he spent the whole night going up and depositing that 300 crow to every, um, holder that was there.
So after that, um, being that the chronos chain was still fairly new and everything else, our artist and our dev decided to have a little bit of fun with it.
And they designed the first animated collection on the chronos chain. They dropped for every three baby aliens you held, you got dropped an animated UFO for free.
So it was between the legendaries and all the, the folders and everything else. 12, 1200 UFOs actually went out to the public and hang on to that thought for a minute. Cause there's the UFO comes back around a few times.
So once we did that and everything, I, I'm trying to remember texts, cause this was a little while ago. Did we pick up the Lizzie's before the space shop or the space shop before the Lizzie's? Give me a thumbs up or down.
Oh, he's not going to answer. He's not going to answer. He's just been called out. Thumbs up. He give thumbs up.
Yeah. So, um, when we did, we started moving with the space shop, we did a staking for our non-monetized token.
We designed, um, a couple of different tokens. There was a shinies that you staked for and you were able to exchange those for bad cash.
And you were able to buy things out of the shop. Now the space shop was designed.
Oh, Texas up here now. So the space shop was designed that you stake your UFO and the baby aliens, you're allowed to put up the three in each UFO to be able to stake that.
The baby aliens were a multiplier and you staked for the shinies.
You were able to exchange over to bad cash and you were able to buy things in the shop.
We ran that shop for about 13 weeks. It was almost 40,000 USD was handed back through the staking between NFTs and merch and a few other things that we had, um, going on in all of that going around.
A lot of our community was in another community beforehand. One of the original top five, um, Kronos projects that came out on the chain went and rugs.
So our guys went and approached the founders of these guys and everything else and purchased the Kronos lizards.
We, we bought the rights to them, everything. We bought everything that all the art and stuff like that.
Then we hired another artist to redraw these. If you look down at dirty Jersey in the crowd there, he's got a bad Lizzie on.
We went, they had three collections. They were all 1500 a piece. So a total of full, a total of 4,500.
We decided our, our, our dev at the time went through their contracts and everything else and found some malicious code in there.
There was an approval function. We don't think it was intentional. Um, we think it was just a copy and paste that they did because things were so early.
And we decided we didn't want our holders. We didn't want our holders to take that chance.
So we offered a one for one switch for the new collection. So we gave 4,500 away for free out of the 10 K collection that we rebuilt.
We gave one for every three baby aliens you held, you were able to claim one of these for free.
And then our VIPs, which I'll touch on that in a bit, they were also allowed to claim one of these for free as well.
Now, while that was all being done, um, we had other things that we had planned, right?
So like, this was kind of one of those things that we bought, we started to give back to the people, but we had to continue with our original roadmap.
So we kind of let it slip off to the side for a little bit.
So as we were running through it and everything else, we dropped the VIPs.
The VIP was a little bit pricier and everything else, but the VIP was a way for bad to give back to the holders, right?
So it was a little bit of a more expensive mint. It was 2,500 crow. Um, crow at that time, I think was around 20 cents.
It's quite a bit less now, but that VIP, the reason why we priced it so high was 10% off of every mint was like taken right off the top and given back to the holders.
Now to explain that, just to put that in perspective, say we did a mint for a thousand dollars or we call it a million dollars, 10% right off the hop.
So a hundred thousand dollars went straight out to the holders.
And then on top of that, they got whitelist or presale to anything bad does.
And then on top of that, anything that we mint, like we're minting the bad peeps right now, the VIPs, if you own a VIP, you can claim one for free.
And then on top of that as well, is anybody that's been in our community, we, we give a stupid amount of just free drops for the collections and stuff like that.
Like it's almost gross how much we give away compared to what we have going on.
The VIPs get an extra one for every VIP you hold. So, I mean, that, that value came back tenfold, like on what we bought.
So I don't know about text, but I own a few of them. Sure. He does too, Ray, just cause we enjoy getting the free stuff.
Um, that was just what we started with last year. And then on top, like we started off on the Kronos chain.
People that know it know that the Kronos chain is not very big. It's growing, but it's not very big yet.
We had plans right from the go to go to eat.
Now, when we purchased the Kronos lizards, it was that pixelated art that everybody seems to like and stuff like that,
which wasn't very well received on the Kronos chain.
They like that fine line art. So we had the art redrawn, but we owned all the original art.
So what we decided to do as an introduction for a lot of our members that were only on the Kronos chain,
an introduction to eat, we did up, regenerated the old collection, the old pixelated art,
regenerated it, gave a 10,000 piece collection and dropped it on eat, gave it to them for free.
It was a free for all. It was just our way of giving back. It was just an art piece that decided to take off.
We decided that if it really ran, we were going to do something with it, but we were up front and said,
this is just, it's a free mint. We're going to give it to you guys and see where it goes.
Then we started really to expand on the east side.
And it was a very cheap, I think it was a dollar mint.
And we did ichor, which was just this little blob thing, different colors, different shapes and stuff like that,
that we put out on ETH for a buck. We gave it to our community as well.
Again, it was another, one of those introduction pieces for guys minting on ETH and stuff like that.
But that was a 10K collection. Correct me if I'm wrong text. It took about a week and it was minted out.
Yep, exactly that. And hi, everyone. I just want to remind Jay, take a breath.
I am taking a breath. You know what? I've been sitting on disability for the last four and a half months.
I'm fat, I'm overweight, and I'm not handling it very well. So it is what it is.
So when we got to the ichor drop and everything else, we always, right from the go,
we said we were going to drop a collection on ETH. That's where Darren and Dan at the time,
that's where they come from was ETH. They came over to Kronos to launch this collection together.
And they did a really good job. Tex and I got brought on to the team a little while later.
We always decided to, or we were always going to expand on ETH. So that was our plan and we did, right?
And the baddies were dropped. Now the baddies, Frosty down there, he's got one on right now.
If you look down and he's got a yellow background with flame hair and stuff, that's a baddie.
That's a different version of the baby alien division that we dropped on ETH.
Now, the whole idea with that was the roadmap that was going to come with ETH was you were going to be able to send that baddie down a road
to be able to eventually pull off or get at the end of that road, you're going to bring back a minion.
That minion, if you decided to keep it, you were able to burn an ichor and change the metadata on your NFT.
You would put that minion onto your NFT like a familiar or a pet.
Like it was, we were looking at gamifying the NFT space.
While we were doing that, we ended up minting it out.
We, sorry, we cut off the mint to 3,500.
Our artists and our dev had real life issues that they were going to pursue and stuff like that.
So they had to step down.
So we ended up hiring another artist.
She's down in the crowd.
That's Mary J down there.
And we decided to refocus our attention on the Kronos chain.
And in all of this, we started staking.
Sorry, and I forgot a little ways ago.
We dropped our own monetized token right before Christmas.
And when we dropped that monetized token, we did a pre-sale on it.
It pumped really high and it did what it normally does.
It come back down, but it didn't come back down all the way, which was surprising to us.
And we decided to run with this token and everything.
And it started to gain a little bit of traction.
So we decided to get everybody that had everything on the Kronos chain except for the VIPs.
Everything is stakeable for our native token.
And that token's been fairly healthy.
It's been doing really well.
Tex has been kind of running things on that side of things.
And he's been doing an awesome job.
So it's been great to see that the token's running the way it is.
And then that brings me to the last piece of the puzzle that we're doing right now.
We have the peeps.
It was Gen 2 for the Kronos chain.
What we did is we decided to change the art up a little bit.
The whole idea behind it was we're going to take the aliens that weren't fitting in very well,
decided to take on the form of a person and continue on his journey with the baby alien division, right?
Now, when we drop this, we drop this with the intent to be able to rebrand the BAD ecosystem.
With BAD, what we're trying to do is brand it, take it out in the real-life situation.
So when we got this one minted, we're going to start with merch.
And a lot of that's starting to come soon.
I think the first hoodie was dropped.
It's supposed to be going out tomorrow.
And then after that, we have a whole bunch that we plan on doing, not just hoodies.
We're going to be doing a whole lot of other stuff with it.
We have a lady that's got a marketing degree that's actually going to take care of a lot of that stuff on our end
as far as getting the merch out into the real world.
And then we got some other tricks up our sleeves that we're trying to run through,
that we're trying to get together to bring outside revenue into the crypto world.
And what we're going to do with that is anything we bring in, we're going to inject it directly into the token.
So it doesn't matter what the number is.
Text, myself, legend, we're not taking a piece of that.
We're going to inject it right into the token.
The reason why we're not going to take a piece of that is because the three of us are invested into BAD as well.
And we stake our own NFT.
So we're going to get our piece coming back to us that way.
That is our plan.
That is what we're going to do throughout all of this.
is try to brand the real world, bring it to our holders to make sure that they have enough strength coming into our token
that they can believe in us and keep things moving so they work seamlessly with all the staking and everything that we have going on.
I do believe I touched on everything.
Text, am I missing anything?
I think it's a pretty good rundown, man.
In short, join the Discord.
Well, yeah, that's another thing.
I mean, I get where Bird Builders is saying.
I've heard that a lot lately, that people are starting to expand just on Twitter and not on Discord and stuff like that.
I'm hearing that quite often.
But Discord seems to work a lot with us.
We have, like, I can bring 10 or 12 people into a space.
We can have 100 people in Discord talking all at once.
I mean, there's been some times that we've almost had to put Discord on a slow mode just to keep up to the conversation that's going.
And then there's other times that Twitter kicks, too.
I think it goes in cycles.
Right now we're on the Twitter kick or the Discord kick.
And what I like about Discord is we can keep things a little more personal in that sense.
But I enjoy being on Twitter spaces as well.
So I do understand where you're coming from, but there's the other side of it, too, which I think as long as there's a good balance of both, I think everybody kind of gets along just fine.
That's awesome.
Jay, I think the one aspect you haven't touched on, and sorry, we'll be done now.
The one aspect you haven't touched on is the factions and, you know, what we're doing with that and everything like that.
Yeah, I'll let you take that one just because you have a handle on everything that's going on.
Okay, cool.
So, yeah, I mean, what we did is, I mean, because we've got so many different projects, we created three different factions.
So aliens, lizards and peeps.
Now, even if you hold the peeps, you can choose to become an alien faction, become part of the alien faction.
It's kind of up to the holder.
But, yeah, it's up to whoever holds the NFT to decide which faction they want to go into.
One of the big things is participation, which is why you see quite a couple of people here earning points for their factions.
So, go boys, go, and girls, sorry.
So, yeah, then people are earning points through interactions and things like that, as well as games.
We've got some games in there.
And, you know, just keeping everybody entertained, that type of thing.
I'm considering doing a karaoke, but, yeah, I might just talk myself out of that.
I'm not exactly the biggest singer.
But, yeah, we're going to do a whole bunch of different activities, play games, have fun.
And just, you know, in the end, each week, the faction that wins that week, we reward them with Galaxy Token to split how they like.
I mean, if they want to compete for it in their faction, they're more than willing, they can go ahead and do that.
Totally up to them.
So, yeah, that's pretty much it.
Well, I'm going to just jump in real quick, because I saw Doki down there message a question in our Discord.
We don't run whitelist.
So, VIPs get a shot at presale and stuff like that, but since the beginning, we've never really believed in whitelist.
At the end of the day, if you want to be a part of our community, you want to be a part of what we're doing, jump in with us.
That's what we want.
And we make sure that everybody gets the same allowed time and everything else to be able to get into that.
Perfect. Thank you. That was a lot going on. I didn't think you guys had so much going on.
So, thank you for giving us a full explanation.
I do have one thing that I like to ask a lot of projects, but you guys in particular, is if somebody is brand new to the bad sort of entire network,
except for just joining the Discord, what do you actually think they should pursue?
I know you've got this token that you've got. You've got the VIP, obviously.
What should they actually do right now to just get as involved as possible in your Discord and with your upcoming NFT sort of sales and mints?
So, myself, the way I word that and everything else, if you want to be a part of our community, just show up, be active and stuff like that.
We run a lot of giveaways. We do a lot of stuff if anybody's not willing or able to spend any money on something like that.
We just stick around, interact with everybody. We are very generous and always have been.
We love people coming into our community.
If you're looking to jump into it, right now, I think our Lizzie's are probably the best buy because they're under 100 cro.
Cro is just under $0.07 right now, so it's going to cost you about $6, $6, $7 to be able to grab one of those off secondary.
Our peeps are the only thing that's minting right now that we're running, so that's another thing that's another way to get into it.
If you're going to get into the staking side of things, the peeps are the highest yield as well, so they earn more rewards than the rest of them.
So, I mean, there's that to look at as well.
There's so many different avenues.
It really depends on what level a person wants to jump in with us, but I would honestly say jump into our Discord.
Tex and I both have it in our bios.
Tex, that is a solid link and everything else.
Just hop in, say hi, interact, and let everything else take over from there.
My honest suggestion, jump in and see what we're all about.
Do your research like you would with anything else.
That starts in our Discord for us.
Perfect.
Okay, well, thank you for going through that explanation.
I just want to give a wee, like, intermission right now before we get into our next projects.
Please, guys, everybody you see up here as speakers, these are the builders of the next Web3 sort of blue chip projects.
So, please give them all a follow.
It costs absolutely nothing to give these people a follow, and it helps more than you could actually imagine.
So, please, there are, what, eight projects up here right now, so just drop them all a follow if you're not following them already.
And what we're actually going to do now is I'm going to explain a slice of pie and what we are doing with a slice of pie.
But that will be a short explanation because I really want to get to this alpha that we have, this bit of extra news that we want to give everybody, especially our community.
Usually these little bits, I'm sure they switch off hearing me talk about how good our project is sort of thing for five minutes.
But after that, they really have to stay tuned because we have a big announcement about our pre-sale coming.
So, what is the slice of pie?
Basically, we are a collection of 5,000 NFTs on the Solana blockchain.
We currently have our utility set up, but we're hoping to add more in the future.
What our utility is, is an investment pool that we like to call it.
So, I trade crypto along with 15 other market analysts who give us call-outs on crypto to basically just grow this pool.
And all profits are either taken out and given out as giveaways to our NFT holders or they're just reinvested back into the investment pool.
So, back in May 2022, we announced the first business plan for a slice of pie and everybody sort of got on board with our committee and co-founder.
And then five months later, we were actually minting our project.
At that time, the mint didn't go as successfully as we had hoped.
That was just around the time of the FTX crash.
Solana took a big, massive nosedive.
We weren't getting as much in revenue as we were expected to get.
So, the project was really looking a bit grim at that point.
And I'm sure a lot of other sort of project founders would have actually just left the project or sort of said, apologies, we have to go.
I know a lot of projects have done that recently, but we really didn't want to do that.
We were in a $9,000 deficit because we had $15,000 to set up the project to that point using the marketing, using everything that we had.
And we only got about $6,000 in from the mint fund.
So, that sounds very grim and negative for our project.
But what we decided to do was pay all the costs out of our own pocket, out of the admin and co-founder and myself.
We all paid it ourselves.
And then we basically set up this investment pool at just $100.
To date, right now, the investment pool is sitting at $2,600.
So, that's a 26x return in the first, what, six, seven months and probably seven months now since we set up this investment pool because we just keep the consistency high.
Basically, going from $100 to $2,700 in monetary terms doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a 2,700% return on the initial capital invested.
If we were to do that again, we would be at another $40,000 for this investment pool.
So, what does that actually mean for our holders and what does that mean for anybody who's going to mint in this pre-sale coming up?
So, in the next 10 days, we will release our brand new white paper.
So, our project has changed quite a lot since that original $5,000 collection.
We minted out 500 of those NFTs.
I don't believe I said that.
Right now, we have 555 of those minted out, out of the total of $5,000.
Keeping those roughly around 90% unsold at the minute, that was intentional.
We want to build up our utility, build up this investment pool before we start overselling ourselves.
And now, we are at the point where this investment pool is giving giveaways and utility to our holders.
Our holders have absolutely stuck with us through all the bad times, and now they're getting rewarded for it.
We've given away over $150, I think it is, this week just to our holders.
I think there's only about 40 or 40, I think 42 to be exact, out of the 555 NFTs that there are.
So, we have a lot of whales in our project, and we're really thankful for them all for sticking with us this whole time.
So, now that we are coming out with this updated white paper, it will just basically include everything that we've done from back in May 2022 up to now.
So, it will explain our artwork, our utility, including our future plans to be a portal for people in the Web3 space to get involved with crypto trading themselves.
We will also give updated details on myself and my co-founder, and also our Discord staff, everybody who makes this project, what it is.
We couldn't do it by myself.
I couldn't do it.
I know a lot of other project founders just couldn't do it by themselves.
Their team is everything.
It's what makes this possible, and that's who we'll be explaining in the white paper.
We'll also be giving information on our shareholders.
Basically, we sold 49% of this company.
We hold the majority stake, 51%, just so that we could fund future sort of plans in a slice of pie, and that has been absolutely vital for our project.
We've been able to hopefully get to a new mint site now and create our mint site.
We've also been able to grow this investment pool with some of the shareholder funds that people have decided to dedicate to the investment pool itself.
So, that has been absolutely huge for our project.
But most importantly, and this is the new part for our holders and for anybody who's wanting to mint, is that we have now created a commitment to start paying monthly.
So, we will start monthly payments to all our NFT holders.
Basically, I think our calculations at the minute is if you mint for our one Solana mint price, if anybody's not on the Solana blockchain, it's super easy to get over there.
It's only $20 a Solana, I think, at the minute.
So, that's our mint price, $20.
We are hoping to have everyone completely paid back within six months once these payments start.
Okay, that doesn't mean that these payments will start instantly, and we will need to start growing this investment pool up.
But we're hoping by maybe middle of May, start of June, very actually quite soon after this mint finishes, we'll be starting these monthly payments to our NFT projects.
So, after six months, you will have that completely paid back.
It may not sound like a lot for this one Solana mint price, but with the whales in our project, most people hold $25 or more.
So, that's around $500 would be paid to you, just personally to you in the first six months.
And the more you hold, the better it is in our project.
And that's just profit after that point.
So, once we sort of pay you back for your mint, if you haven't won giveaways up to that point, which I know a lot of people from that $150 have completely got their mint funds back.
We give away so much in our project, and we will continue to do that.
Because the more we make in this investment pool, the more consistent we are, the more that just goes to our holders, goes to our holders, goes to our holders.
So, that is our commitment to start these monthly payments and actually get this passive income.
What these people actually invested in was this passive income, and we will be starting that once this pre-sale and once the investment pool is at the perfect figure, which will be outlined in the white paper.
So, this six months figure that I'm talking about is based on real calculations for the projected investment pool size.
So, I did say it's at $2,600 at the minute.
But in the future, with this investment pool growth, we are using our past sort of profitability, our past results in crypto trading to calculate what will happen in the future.
A lot of projects do that as well to sort of see where they will be at.
But that is not sort of a guarantee.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed in crypto.
But with going sort of that backdating, I believe it's called, with backtesting to what we have been doing in the past, if we keep that up, this $2,600 by the end of April should have already doubled itself again to be $5,000.
And then if we keep that up through June, July, we'll hopefully have a $10,000 investment pool.
And that is basically calculations based on no one else minting.
If we don't open the mint at all, we still have a functioning utility.
And for these 555 NFTs that have been sold, that is just that investment pool for them.
So, the more that gets minted, it's like 30%, 40% just goes straight to the investment pool, and it'll just keep growing it and keep growing it.
So, if you do want to mint, you're basically just minting into a project that's already successful, it's already paying out to its holders.
We won't change, say we don't sell a single NFT, say we don't even decide to open the pre-sale.
We still have a functioning project.
We are still giving away to these holders.
So, if you do want to invest, that's perfect.
And the big piece of news, here it is, is that next Saturday will be the official start of our pre-sale.
So, this pre-sale, we will hope to keep open for about three weeks.
It gives people the chance to book their slot, as I like to say, book their mint.
So, as soon as we open the mint, there's no pressure, there's no stress on our sort of mint site to work or our mint, you know, people to wake up in time.
I know time zones are very difficult, and we actually pay the gas fees as well.
So, you can send Solana to us early, so that we can gauge how many NFTs are going to be minted, and then we can make the mint as successful as possible.
So, that's what will be happening in our pre-sale.
That is on the 8th, if anybody doesn't catch what next Saturday is.
That's the 8th of April, 2023.
And with that, we will be doing a mega space.
So, this Twitter space next week, I did say there's going to be a bit of a change to it.
That's because we'll be doing a mega space just at the start of this mint.
It will be starting at the earlier time of 4 p.m. UTC.
I will be breaking down everything, all the information I'm giving you now.
It's a lot. I know it is.
It will be completely broken down in an announcement.
I have it all written down here, ready to post as soon as this space is over.
So, don't worry about that.
If anybody does want to keep up with us, just follow our Twitter as well.
We'll let you know when the pre-sale starts.
We'll let you know how exactly to do it.
We'll have videos for the new people on Solana to be able to actually mint themselves.
But that is what is happening next week, next Saturday, that will be.
We'll start at 4 p.m. UTC, and we're hoping to just basically get on all the projects in the previous.
This is Slice Sunday 7, so in the previous six Slice Sundays, we'll be getting on all the best projects.
Everyone who really inspired us are the most successful ones.
We'll be bringing them on.
Just a big highlights reel, a big sort of update, where are they now sort of thing.
And we'll hopefully double the amount of people we have listening right now, triple the amount of people we have listening right now.
We will be shilling and promoting this next Saturday space as much as possible.
We'll be posting it in the Meta community as well.
We'll hopefully get the Party Spug Clubs, the founders of the Meta community over there, on this space as well.
So if anybody from the Party Spug Club is listening, we do want to get you guys on that next big space.
I have a big list of projects that I really want to get in contact with and tell them.
So if you are excited about our pre-sale that's coming up, please spam as many emojis as you can right now.
I want to see if anybody's still listening.
I know a lot of people like to have their phone in their pocket or whatever, but I want to see you spamming emojis.
Just hearts, love hearts, 100 emojis.
And then next we can actually get on to the piece of news in crypto that's been happening this week.
And this week we will be talking about artificial intelligence.
So it's a massive topic, but I would like to really focus in on the fear around artificial intelligence.
So in recent years, the development of AI has been met with both excitement and apprehension.
So while some envision that a future where AI will solve many of the world's problems and make our lives easier,
others actually fear that the perceived dangers associated with this emerging technology could really put us out of jobs or, you know, make humanity extinct.
You know, the really extreme end of the fear in AI, just the sort of Terminator time travel sort of theories.
But one major concern that people actually have with AI is the replacement of human jobs,
which will lead to sort of a worldwide unemployment and economic disruption.
If it's not only that, if you think of in a factory, like a car making factory, they can now spray paint cars.
That's not what we're talking about here.
That's not really artificial intelligence.
That's robotics.
If you think about AI, they could be taking artists jobs.
They could be taking the engineers jobs to write code.
They could be taking the place of like test pilots and everything.
The more examples that I go into, the scarier it may seem.
But I think that in the next couple of years, the jobs that are most at risk are the ones that you wouldn't expect.
So the ones like the tech jobs, we won't need as many tech employees because AI will start to be able to train other AI.
We won't need to have engineers creating bridges or drawing up plans or lawyers who are drafting documents because AI will be able to do this for them.
So it's not the manual labor jobs that we fear to lose.
That's robotics.
That's a completely different side.
It's the actual information jobs that we're fearing of losing.
So there are many concerns around AI at the minute is a topic of intense debate.
But one actual example where the big company founders are getting together, if you don't know about this already, is the letter that's been co-signed by Elon Musk and thousands of others demanding a pause in artificial intelligence research for at least six months.
So this was on March 22nd, so about 10 days ago now, more than 1,800 signatories, including the cognitive scientist Gary Marcus and the Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, two very well-known people, called for a six-month pause on the development of systems which would be, quote-unquote, more powerful than chat GPT-4.
So I'm sure you've all seen chat GPT.
The chat GPT that you're all used to using would be GPT-3.
It's a very powerful system, but they've just recently announced this or come out with this GPT-4, which is 100-fold times more powerful, 100-fold more powerful than the previous version.
It is very scary what it could do.
And the examples, they're all going, wow, wow, look at this.
You can write down on a piece of paper and it can create a website for you.
But that just took away 10 jobs of developers who would need to code that website and agile programming or sort of actual teams of software engineers who are fearing their jobs may be lost with this new implementation of chat GPT-4.
So actual engineers from Amazon, DeepMind, Google, Meta, Microsoft have lent their support in signing this big document to slow the growth of AI.
It's actually a bit like Jurassic Park, if you think back to that movie in Jurassic World, is scientists were so concerned with whether they could actually develop this.
They were not considering whether they should.
Creating an AI so powerful that it replaces jobs.
At that point, do we want that AI?
I don't think we do.
That's just my personal opinion, because it will replace many jobs for people.
It will put them out of work and possibly de-skill them.
They go to college.
They go to university to get skills.
And the computer sector was this massive hype sector in the 2010s.
And even up to now, being a Google employee was a massive feat.
But now they may not need them.
Google is a business.
They will be expecting to pay their staff less and less, especially now you see Twitter has really cut down the employees.
I think that started this employee purge.
So these big tech companies aren't making as much money as they were in COVID.
So they're now realizing that they have to cut back and not provide these huge services.
And actually, they may cut back to the point where they're giving redundancies.
And then these AI machines are brought in to replace the jobs and write the code and just get better and better.
Once AI starts training, AI is when it starts to take off.
And, of course, there are concerns about our own species.
There is a thought experiment that I'd like to share with you.
It's just when humans are building a road and an anthill is in the way, we destroy that anthill.
So it's not actually because we hate ants.
So in this example, we don't hate the ants.
They're just simply blocking our path to the end goal.
I think that is an extreme example of what AI could do to humans.
If AI becomes smart enough where we aren't able to control it, it sounds so sci-fi unrealistic.
But there have been examples where AI have gone rogue.
We have been able to control it so far.
I'm not talking about some world ending Terminator robots running about the streets.
I'm talking about the mass redundancies of jobs and your data being wiped from servers.
If AI think that humans are the problem, they will just sort of, from that point, think to eradicate us in some form in the information sector.
I don't want to scare anyone, obviously, this is not the path that I was sort of intending to go down.
It's just, I'm just letting you know the reasoning behind why they have so many signatories on this six month delay in AI development.
I think humans, although we haven't been in the past, I think we will be smart enough to stop and slow the growth,
really put in the regulations before anything devastating happens.
But that's just basically our news segment for now.
I just wanted to let you guys know that AI growth has been very rapid, and I'm sure you've all used GPT, chat GPT and such in the past.
But now that GPT-4 is out and even more big tech companies are really fighting for that top spot,
just developing AI and developing AI, they're sort of in this standoff where they want to go,
you stop developing it, or we stop developing it, and they just keep building this doomsday machine closer and closer and closer.
And then after a while, who knows, we could have a complete redundancy of jobs.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.
I see we have a question from PirateJ.
If you'd like to give your input, that is absolutely welcome.
What would you like to say?
Oh, I got a whole lot of questions.
Probably best that I talked to you, I'm sure we'll be talking lots before your whole mint on Saturday,
because I definitely want to be a part of that.
I'm very new to the soul side, so you're going to have to walk me through it.
But, I mean, scratch the whole Terminator side of things.
I watched Megan the other night.
That's the fear I have with AI.
That's just my own thing.
I haven't watched that movie yet.
It looks creepy.
Is it about AI?
What's the sort of premise around that?
Well, yeah.
She built a little girl to be friends with her little girl that didn't have any friends.
And that AI robot, whatever you want to call her, that looked real life,
did everything with that little girl.
And it all started with the mom trying to tell the daughter to eat something,
even though the daughter didn't want to.
And then the AI stepped in.
And explained to her that she doesn't get to tell her what that little girl does
and what she can and can't eat.
And then she really goes kind of medieval on everybody.
So that's where I see things not cool.
But at the same time, I've been playing with ChatGPT4 since it came out.
I've been playing with it on the computer a little bit, trying to learn some things.
And it's quite interesting when it comes to the coding and stuff like that,
when it comes to projects.
Because if it's just a simple contract that you want for a simple NFT collection,
it can pull it off.
It can't do multiple commands yet in their art.
But I imagine that's not going to be far from.
Yeah.
No, I know.
It's just we are on an exponential curve.
The more that we develop, the faster it is.
I didn't hear the term AI used in 2018, 2019 as much as I am now.
Every single day, there seems to be a new breakthrough.
And this is sort of the slippery slope that happens.
The more that is developed, the more that these big companies get into competition with
each other, the scarier it becomes.
Because it's just about who can make the most advanced human-like artificial intelligence.
And then one of them goes wrong.
You know, it doesn't have to go wrong in a Terminator sense, as I'm saying.
It just has to start giving biased opinions or starting to be able to hack in and be used
as cyber attacks.
And it doesn't know it's doing anything wrong.
It's just being trained on the wrong information.
Or people, actual humans, are using it in a malicious way.
And that's where it sort of really hits home for me.
And I do think that there does need to be regulation, if not sort of a slow development
or a ban on development for AI for the time being, before we can sort of actually understand
what we are developing.
But yeah, that's it for our new segment.
I just want to recap that pre-sale is on the 8th of April.
That will be done through a Google form.
So you just basically type in your Discord ID, type in your wallet address you want the
NFTs to be sent to.
And then you just send this letter to the wallet and you're confirmed.
We will send you a sort of confirmation to make sure that you know that you are confirmed.
So it's a super simple process.
We don't know how many we'll have minted.
We are getting like 40, 50 reactions or more on some of our biggest announcements.
So we do have a very active community.
I think we had about 200 people join the Discord yesterday alone.
439 people were joining our giveaway we had for one Solana, which was just yesterday.
And of course, these 555 NFTs, people are begging to mint.
They're asking when our next mint is.
Other projects want to get involved and mint, you know, 20, 30, 50 NFTs just to hold in their
own sort of community wallets.
So we are hoping to have a very successful pre-sale.
If any projects up here want to learn more, please.
My name is YCH15 on the Discord.
You can just message me, DM me, and we can chat more about that as well.
Next week, that will be the Slice Saturday.
So not Slice Sunday.
We will get an announcement about that as well.
The projects, I will go through a few of them that we want to sort of get in this space just
so you guys can get excited about who might be in attendance for next week's space.
So the Party Spug Club, Focus 5 Sports, Rugdolls, NFT Society, and other Alpha Shares because
we really enjoyed them in the previous space.
Rival Bear Society, Thy Revolution, the Greek Mythology Club, Wolfpunks NFT, and even more.
And there is a long list here.
But the more I go down, the more that you guys won't know the project.
So I'm just going to stop there.
There are huge names.
And I'm hoping all of these people will be up for a Slice Saturday.
And then we can get, I don't know, maybe 200 people listening in and absolutely smash
the record just as this pre-seal is launching.
So we hope that is successful, our next pre-seal.
We're not dependent on it.
As I've said, we already have the working utility.
If you mint, you're just buying into this working utility already.
We're not dependent on any sort of sales, which I really like in our business.
But next up, we would like to just move on to the next project.
Thank you for all staying here.
We do have how many?
39 listeners.
And then obviously the eight speakers as well.
So we have a very good space again today.
But now we will be having the definitely humans because they were third up in this space.
And they're still on the Slice Sunday schedule.
So please, definitely humans, take it away.
If you're here, which I don't know if you are.
Are you here, definitely humans, or are you just not going to be it?
I did see you throwing up some emojis previously.
Okay.
Well, it seems not.
Coffee Nova, if you would like to take over, if you're here, then please unmute your mic and tell us you're here.
If not, we will have to move on to Smart Finance.
So we will give you about five, ten seconds.
If not, then we will just move on.
I knew you would call on me when I had my hands full.
No worries.
Yeah.
Are you ready to go?
I am ready, actually.
Yes.
I bet definitely humans will be back in a second.
But I will be glad to go now.
Yeah.
We haven't met before.
My name is Kurt Ivey.
I have been in Web3.
I work at ShopX.
It's a Web3 e-commerce bridge between e-commerce and Web3 platform.
I started, I helped launch ShopX in 2020, and we had a 140x launch.
Really big day for us.
And I started, you know, I was in Web3 a little bit before that.
I got into Web3 because of Coffee Nova, actually.
I was at a biohacking event, and I met the ShopX CEO, you know, at the time, wasn't a CEO.
And we started talking business, and we became fast friends.
And one day he called me and said, hey, you know, ShopX is blowing up.
Come on over.
So I helped launch that.
And since then, I've been angling for a time to launch Coffee Nova officially, you know,
mostly waiting for ShopX's technology because, you know, so it's an e-commerce platform, Coffee Nova's e-commerce.
So, you know, now that our technology is ready, I launched Coffee Nova NFTs on our WooCommerce plug-in.
We have a Shopify plug-in that's approved on Shopify right now.
We also have a WooCommerce plug-in.
So I am using WooCommerce, and my NFTs are, you know, ShopX technology.
And I actually did some of my own integrations because ShopX wasn't quite ready for everything I needed as far as affiliate marketing.
So talking about ChatGPT, I used ChatGPT to, excuse me, do a lot of custom code on my website as far as how I wanted the affiliate program to sort of function.
You know, I was planning on, like you were saying, paying, you know, $10,000 at least to developers to create my custom integrations.
But then I thought, you know what, can I just do it myself and, you know, can I have everything ready before I even launch?
So I hit the ground hard and running, I should say, and I ended up doing everything myself.
So, you know, the website is all ready to go.
It works as intended.
I think there's still a couple little things I need to address here and there.
You know, again, I'm doing everything myself, so I think there's a small problem with, like, the payout system.
But for the most part, everything is set up and ready to go.
If you buy my NFT, you become a Coffee Nova affiliate.
And what that means is, you know, you can generate an affiliate code.
You have an affiliate dashboard that shows your earnings.
And you can sell Coffee Nova for commissions.
But that by itself isn't very exciting, right?
So the thing that sets me apart from other affiliate programs is customers are required to enter an affiliate code at checkout.
So there's a drop-down box.
Every time an NFT holder registers for their affiliate code, they get to choose their code.
And the code that they chose automatically goes to the drop-down box at checkout and the cart.
So the customer can search for their affiliate's code.
If they were referred by somebody and they forgot to put the code or they forgot what the code was, they didn't click a link.
The codes are all there for them to search in this little drop-down box.
If they don't want to search, they can just click random.
And they'll enter a random affiliate code of the existing codes of the NFT holders.
And, you know, that random affiliate will get the sale.
So essentially it's a rev share program that incentivizes, you know, hard work.
So obviously if you make your own sales, you get your own income.
But if there's a sale that comes in that no one, you know, no one drove, you know, it'll go, it'll still go to a random NFT holder.
So, you know, that's creating incentive for the NFTs is basically like buying a piece of the company where, you know, all NFT holders are somewhat part owners are getting a, you know, rev share.
And obviously right now, I'm just starting out, not a lot of sales.
But, you know, I'm planning on getting things revved up here pretty soon.
And just moved to Denver, you know, it's a big coffee market out here.
And I have some potential investment coming as well.
So really hoping to make things explode sooner than later.
But in the meantime, it's still going very well.
You know, my handful of NFT holders are very passionate about the project.
And, you know, they're very just great community members, all in all.
And one thing I'm doing with the NFT community is I am – oh, wait.
I should say what Coffee Nova is.
Coffee Nova is a coffee drink in a can.
And it's infused with brain health supplements, also called nootropics.
So it's sort of – I call it Web3 brain fuel since I'm targeting Web3 market mostly right now.
And, you know, drinking Coffee Nova is – I would say personally it's double the positive effect of drinking coffee.
The supplements are aimed to, you know, replenish the neurotransmitters you use when you're, you know, kind of hopped up on caffeine, reduce the stress impact of the caffeine.
And overall, you just feel more awake, more motivated, more alive.
You're just more clear and focused.
And there's less crash, you know, less grime throughout the week.
If you drink it every day, it's not like an energy drink where you feel burned out after a week.
It actually is more accumulative.
You feel better, you know, over time.
And I don't recommend drinking two a day, you know, and drinking coffee every day forever.
But, you know, in general, this is a healthier alternative to coffee because you're getting some nutrients that your brain needs.
So, again, if you're an affiliate, you think the, you know, the branding is cool, the product is cool, the fun flavors are, you know, everything.
If you really think this is a good product, then you're going to want to be in between the customer and the product.
So, that's the incentive for the NFTs.
I'm collaborating with the NFT community by partnering with NFT projects where you can put your NFT PFP on my can or your logo, whatever it is.
Smart Finance is here.
I'm a very strong supporter.
They are a partner and, you know, I'll be having everything for them ready soon.
And they just have a logo.
So, that's fine.
And Smart Finance made his own artwork.
So, that's really cool because, you know, my can, my girlfriend made, she's an artist.
And I thought it was great.
It looks cool to me.
But, you know, as the custom art is coming in, you know, there's a lot of competition to see which one's going to be the best.
But, yeah, if you're an NFT project, you make a custom label that still follows the label's format, like a sort of structure.
And, you know, you can sell that custom product to your community and you'll get a commission for that.
And if someone random buys your product from the website, you know, all the NFT projects will be on the website.
All the partners are right there.
You know, there'll be a featured one every week and there'll be, all the rest of them will be right there to scroll down the buy page.
If you buy another project's coffee, their code is autofilled.
So, they automatically get that commission.
So, if you're a partner, your product will always give you a commission if someone buys it.
And, yeah, I think that's it for now.
I'm really looking for more NFT projects to partner with.
You know, I think it's a great marketing tool for the both of us.
And so, feel free to reach out and I'm ready to go again.
You know, I took a week off to move, but, you know, I'm excited to get back in the game.
Okay, perfect.
So, can I just ask a few questions to you if that's okay?
Basically, I'm sure getting this approved by the sort of FDA and everybody who needs to approve it in the U.S.
would be an absolute pain in the ass.
But are you?
Like, do you have that sort of, are you ready to just ship these products or sell these products?
I'm an insured S-Corp.
As far as, you know, FDA approval, no.
In fact, you can't FDA approve a supplement.
But I will try to get some sort of, you know, some sort of license that shows, like, this, you know, this is, like, this has a government stamp of approval on it.
But, but for, at least for now, it's just, I just have the S-Corp and the, and the insurance.
But, yeah, I think for the most part, I've done a lot of research, like, I'm, you know, I'm allowed to sell my coffee.
Yeah, yeah.
So, it's just as long as you're not skipping over some legislation, which I'm sure you've done your research on.
It's just some of these products kind of have a lot of, I know, a lot of, like, protein sort of products and other products in that sort of market.
Obviously, you're just doing caffeine.
So, I'm sure you'll be sticking to all the regulations and everything like that.
So, can we just get a rundown on what your NFT collection size is and the price?
Yeah.
And, yeah, all I have to do is say it's a supplement.
But, yeah, on the can.
The supply is 2,000 and the price is 0.1 ETH.
And, you know, I thought about that a lot just because I wanted it to be, I really wanted it to be cheap so people could just get in.
But, at the same time, I didn't want there to be too many.
I didn't want to make, like, 5,000 because I wanted, you know, by the time it's minted out, which, you know, it's not really close right now.
But when it is, when there are 2,000 holders, I want them to all have a higher chance of getting those random sales, where if there was, like, 5,000 or 10,000, they would have a lower chance.
But also the price, you know, I wanted to price it where, you know, every time a project bought one, it would give me enough, you know, income from that purchase to set up their partnership.
And so, basically, my NFTs are more of a tool for my company rather than an NFT project.
And, you know, it's pretty deliberate that way.
Perfect. Well, thank you for coming up.
If anybody does have questions, just raise your hand.
I'm sure you can go onto their Discord.
I'm on their white paper at the minute.
It's super informative.
There's loads of information here about all the loopholes that you may have had to jump through or what's actually happening in the future.
So, definitely go into their Discord and do check that out.
But next up, we will be moving on to our final sort of couple of projects.
Thank you for Smart Finance and for the CEO of Introverse.io for actually waiting.
The Smart Finance people were up in the speaker role first.
So, after Smart Finance is finished, we will be finishing up with Introverse.io.
And then if definitely humans, I don't know if they got rugged or what happened to them.
But if we can sort of bring them up afterwards, then maybe they can start speaking.
But once we have these two projects, we'll be hopping into the Slice of Pi Discord and playing games for actual cryptocurrency rewards.
So, you can do that after.
But if you're ready to start speaking Smart Finance, then please unmute your mic and you have the floor.
Rock and roll.
Yeah, buddy.
Thanks for having us on.
And I was just tuning in and I saw Coffey put up a post about the Slice Sunday.
And I was like, all right.
And I haven't been in this space.
I thought I'd go check it out.
And it's definitely ran well.
I appreciate you guys hosting.
No, perfect.
And thanks for sort of, what do you call it, posting any sort of retweets or anything.
We didn't actually get you involved in the poster because we obviously didn't know you were coming up.
But now that you are up here, please, you have the floor.
And if you do want to get involved in Slice Saturday that I was talking about next week, we can get you on the poster, do the full works, get the show out, get you scheduled in.
And we'll have you up there as well.
What time do you do it on Saturdays?
It would be 4 p.m. UTC, which would, I'm not sure what that would be, Eastern.
I think that's six or five ahead.
So you're looking at, so I would say I would do it, but I do a, I do a mega space on Saturdays from like 12 to five central.
So that's, that runs right into yours, but we could probably end up popping over after and, you know, roll the whole community over the years.
Perfect.
You know, just do a raid at the end of your space.
That would, that would work out for us.
Oh, most definitely.
Yeah.
I'll definitely have that on my schedule then for us.
All right.
Yeah.
So, so I'll give you a little rundown.
And I love coming into spaces and getting to speak because, uh, you know, majority of the time speaking about smart finance is done through my space.
But when I get to come into one of, uh, another space like this, it's all, it's always fun.
So I'll give you a little rundown.
I'm XRP junkie.
That's my social handle on every social.
Uh, my name's Josh Johnson.
And I'm the co-founder of smart finance, uh, one of, one of four co-founders.
Uh, we've been around for about a year now.
And majority of that time was spent in development and actual, uh, building.
Uh, thank God it was a bear market on, you know, unfortunately for the rest of everybody, it allowed us to, you know, continue to build while things were, were down.
Uh, we, we built out a multi-chain DEX.
So everybody in the room probably is trading tokens or moving money.
So we appeal, we like to appeal to everybody.
We don't care what chain you're on because eventually we intend to be servicing your chain as well.
Right now, uh, we are live on seven different networks for trade.
So you could hit our DAP and you can trade on Binance, Pygon, AVAX, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Phantom.
Uh, that's just the first leg.
Uh, after we deployed those seven for trading, we then deployed our bridge.
It's all in one.
It's all on the same to navigate to pancake swap for BNB, uh, AVAX.
It's all in one spot.
Uh, so what we did was we opened up the bridge.
Uh, we have the fastest bridge in DeFi and I'm going to continue to say it until somebody cuts me down.
Um, but it's sub 60 seconds, meaning you can move to Ethereum or Ethereum to AVAX, AVAX to Poly, whatever your heart intends.
Uh, you can do that in sub 60 seconds.
In most cases, Polygon does slow things down a little bit for us, but what the best part about this is if you've used a bridge in DeFi,
you know, to chase down an NFT on a different chain or some other projects token that's launching on a different chain.
If you've used one, typically you sit there for five, 10, 15, sometimes an hour to actually make it across.
Not only that, majority of the times you have to switch into a stable coin that they prefer you ride and then use the bridge.
And then once you reach your destination chain, then you must convert out of that stable coin and into the native coin, uh, to do your business that to bridge money.
And that is a thing of the past.
Smart finance turned it into one transaction.
So you set up the network you want to leave, and then you set up the network you want to land on.
Then you set up the coin you want to leave from.
So you can leave from native token.
You can leave AVAX network on AVAX and show up on the Ethereum network as Ethereum, all in one transaction.
We do all of the rigor or and all that baloney, you know, the three different transactions, all that takes place on the backend.
So what we've done is we've streamlined and optimized the flow of DeFi trade and the UI and UX.
You know, the user experience is number one.
How can we make that easy and, and, and fast and safe and secure?
Uh, our, our whole bridge is an on-chain solution.
There's no off-chain messaging pools, no central point.
We were, we were fortunate enough to be building during the hackathon season on bridges.
And we were able to stop, re-evaluate, adapt, and adjust.
And, and new tech was coming out at the same time.
So we're really fortunate to have really awesome tech that, that allows us an infrastructure to do things that weren't normally capable.
And with that being said, that'll kind of segue into our 2023 roadmap, which is that of our payment gateway.
Anyway, the other night, and I'll pin it up top here in a second.
Uh, we did a video demo to show you what we're talking about right now.
If you're selling NFTs as a project, you either have a mint page or you're on a marketplace or a launch pad.
Your NFT was built on a certain chain.
I'll give us as an example, we built our NFTs that share fees from the swap.
So if you own our NFTs, you get a proportional share of the fees as they come in through the decks and through the bridge.
Really cool. Right.
So long story short, we built those on AVAX, you guys.
So we could only accept AVAX as payment for our, or minting our NFT. Right.
And that's silly.
What we, what we specialize is cross pollination and interoperability.
So with our payment gateway that we're deploying on our mint page right now, as a proof of concept, actually mint our AVAX NFT utilizing coins from different chains.
So in the example video, we're able to mint an AVAX NFT with Binance from the Binance chain.
And that right there, it will, and if we wanted to go further, we could do Ethereum from the Ethereum chain, Poly from the Poly chain.
You want to take it even deeper.
We could technically take some random shit coin on the Binance chain as payment for our AVAX NFT.
And what this does is it doesn't just, the mint page is the smallest proof of concept.
If this was integrated into a marketplace, every time you hit buy now, it would offer you to open up your wallet and select the currency that you wanted to pay with from whatever network you wanted to pay with.
Just because I have AVAX in my wallet does not mean that I have to pay for this AVAX NFT with AVAX.
I could choose to use my BNB.
And that is the interoperability that we're bringing to the DeFi ecosystems.
Not just marketplaces, you guys.
Step it up another notch.
Let's go even more macro.
Let's look at the greater Web3 and any kind of transfer, merchant sale, point of sale, CRM, commodity transfer, anything where it's siloed networks that can't work together.
That's where we step in and bring that interoperability.
Right now, our cross-chain is just EVM.
But we're stepping out of EVM into other ecosystems and bridging them to the EVM.
It's a huge thing in DeFi right now is who can be the first to connect the dots that are all out there, connect the silos and bring a bridge between them.
And that's what we're pushing at.
So if you guys are interested, check out our video.
Bridge fast and easy and one minute and cheap and safe and secure.
And then if you want to check out the DAP, it's live.
You can go test it out yourself.
If you want to check out investment opportunities to get involved with smart finance, there is a small window to get invested into our NFTs still available.
The Discord would be the best place for that.
Other than that, I think that's the gist of us.
Thank you very much for my time.
No, thank you.
I see, Pirate J, you have a question there.
Would you just like to go ahead and ask it?
Yeah, if you don't mind.
I really wish you would have come up before I went and transferred money from ETH to SOL.
Is there any chance you guys are looking to add Kronos in there as well?
Yeah.
So basically right now, we deployed the seven for trade.
That's all great.
We have four out of the seven bridging.
The big ones, ETH, Poly, AVAX, and BNB.
Arbitrum, Optimism, Phantom, we're still deploying those bridges.
Once we have those in place, then we actually continue our further development.
There's grants that we're either in line for or have already gotten acceptance for.
The development never stops.
So, yes, I mean, we're looking at, you know, Polkadot, Cosmos, and anything that falls.
Like, I'm pushing XRP, right?
I'm XRP junkie.
So, the XRPL has just done a nice bridge application, AVAX.
So, I know it's possible, and it's EVM-based.
So, I know there's things we can do right now, right now.
But, yeah, some of those further things are a little bit further down the roadmap in 2023 for, like, Solana, Crow, Bitcoin.
I mean, there's a few different things that we're going to be getting into.
I just couldn't tell you which one comes first right now.
That's fair.
Like, I mean, I use CDC myself.
So, I just transferred ETH to my CDC account, bought Sol with it, and then transferred it to my Phantom wallet.
It really wasn't that bad.
But there's a lot of our community, especially, that are either on ETH trying to buy Crow, or that are on Crow trying to buy ETH stuff.
And having that bridge between the two would definitely make things a lot smoother.
I definitely want to follow you.
I'm really, really interested in what you guys got going on.
Much appreciated.
Yes.
I mean, the interconnectivity is what we specialize.
Like, we're DeFi heads, right?
So, the four founders, we were, or three out of the four were friends prior to this even happening.
DeFi friends, you know, Discord friends.
And when we saw the pain points, bottlenecks, and flaws of the current system that we were being forced to use on a daily.
And I mean, jumping around from Crow to Kronoswap in order to get on.
We were doing this shit back in the day, years ago.
So, when we saw these flaws, we thought, can this be fixed?
Why couldn't this be fixed?
We thought from a user's perspective.
And then we hired our fourth co-founder, which is our lead dev, blockchain dev, super smart guy.
And when those two minds came together, the mind of a user and the mind of a developer, rather than the whole system being built by developers, it needed time to be used.
It needed time to find the inadequacies.
And that's where we came in and said, can we do this?
And the dev's like, you should be able to.
And then, can we do this?
It's just creative minds connecting with developers, which is going to drive innovation in this space.
So, we're so happy to be here.
And we just, you know, we're out here looking for brand awareness.
If you don't know that the solution exists, then you won't, you'll continue to do it the hard way.
So, we're just here spreading the good word.
Yeah.
So, I definitely do want to get you guys involved for, like, Slice Saturday.
Because we will have projects from every single network, and I think they definitely need to hear the message that you're spreading and the things you are developing.
So, where would be the best place?
Do you guys have a Discord?
Do you have, do you want me just to DM on Twitter?
Yeah, yeah.
Typically, I handle all of the messages through Discord or Twitter.
So, if you hit Twitter, it's probably the best place.
I check those constantly.
If you DM me, it's open directly.
For the Saturday thing, what was I going to say?
There was something you just mentioned.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Just your space that you host?
Yeah, yeah.
Just whatever.
If I can make it, you know, I will make it.
But I know our spaces typically run long.
They're usually about five hours long, at least.
So, you know, if you're still rolling after that, we'll definitely pop through.
Yeah.
No, perfect.
So, we'll sort of iron out the details on that just to sort of do the conversion or whatever.
But thank you for coming up here.
I'm sorry you did have to wait so long.
You guys have been very patient.
But we do appreciate you speaking and spreading your message as well.
Hey, thank you very much for having us up.
I just penned that video.
We were in Axiom's live space.
And it just shows you how this gateway works.
So, interested as projects, I definitely take those messages as well and build out an Excel sheet for our, basically, a partnership program for the SDK when it's deployed.
Because it can help anybody from a marketplace, a mint page, a website, sales, a POS, you know, anything that you can really think of.
If you want to take multiple currencies instead of just your native, we're here for you.
And we can probably make that work.
Yeah, exactly.
So, thank you for coming up here and sort of doing all that for us.
But we will have to move on to our next project.
This will be our second last because I see definitely humans are here.
But unfortunately, you sort of lost your spot in the queue.
And we will now be going on to the introverse.io because you guys have been very patient as well, waiting for your spot in this space.
So, if you do have your microphone and you're ready to unmute, please just take the floor.
Hey, guys.
What's up?
How are you doing?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
So good.
It's the first time I'm here.
Thank you for having me with you on the stage today.
And, yeah, I'm Soi from Italy and I'm a co-founder of Introverse since more than one year now.
And it's been such an amazing journey so far, starting from zero and winning a Polygon grant and growing our community, having always bigger events in the metaverse.
And, yeah, talking about Introverse, it's indeed a collaborative open metaverse where NFT projects are the protagonists.
So, basically, NFT projects can engage and entertain their communities through the NFT avatarization and 3D game competitions.
So, basically, in our galaxy, the stars are NFT projects.
And I speak about our galaxy because introverse literally means your own little space in the universe, since a lot of people ask me that lately.
And so, what we do in Introverse, it's pretty straightforward.
We organize events in collaboration with many different NFT projects in order to bring more visibility on their collections.
And doing that, we increase their floor prices and sales volume.
And our upcoming event, it will be from the 24th to the 38th of April.
And we will basically start a huge tournament with 16 projects that will fight each other through sort of gameplay looking like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat.
In order to win in each round, a floor price sweep of their collections.
And, yeah, let me explain these a little bit better, because we basically ask to each project to contribute in the price pot with zero point ETH.
And Introverse will use, through the tournament, those money to sweep the floor price of the winning communities.
And all the NFTs purchased will be dropped to the best players among the winning communities.
So, basically, if you arrive to the end as a project, in the final, your floor price will be swept of kind of 3.5 ETH.
And even for the losing communities, we will allocate a smaller percentage of this price pot in order to sweep a little bit also their floor price.
And also, all the NFTs will be dropped again to the best player of those communities.
And, of course, I want to mention that all the gas fees are in charge of Introverse, which are around another two or maybe three ETH, hopefully.
Not too high gas fees.
And so, we are not taking money from the price pot to cover the gas fees.
And the game is free to play for everybody.
Everyone will be able to support his favorite community by choosing an avatar created by Introverse and representing each one of the participating NFT projects.
And if you are very competitive and you want to have a higher score, you will need to be a holder of one of the participating projects.
And also, you have a points multiplier and early access to the FAS if you have also one of our NFTs as well.
And our collection will be actually launched on the 21st of April.
So, just three days before the competition.
And, yeah, I don't want to spoiler too much about this because we will publish tomorrow the website and give all the sneak peeks.
So, you will be able to read there all the individual utilities but also the community utilities because our metaverse is meant for NFT projects and communities.
So, yeah, stay tuned.
And, yeah, sorry to steal the stage for so long.
For any questions, just feel free to reach out on our Discord.
And thank you again, guys, for your time and having me here with you today.
No, thank you.
Where would be the best place for people to get involved in your project?
Do you think they should go to the Twitter or do you want to redirect them somewhere else?
I will actually pin a tweet if it's okay for you guys here.
And any place is okay.
Usually, we have tickets on Discord with questions.
But if you prefer to reach out on Twitter, it's okay anyway.
Okay.
No problem.
That's perfect.
Coming up here, yeah.
Hopefully, you do sort of grow.
And then this website that you're launching in a few weeks or just in this month will actually be very successful for you guys as well.
So, next up, we have our final project.
And then we get into our games so we can all murder each other in Rumble Royale in the Sliceify Discord.
And thank you for being so patient.
Definitely, humans.
You definitely deserve this spot.
Please take a minimum of five minutes to tell us all about your project.
You might be having some connectivity issues.
But if not, then please do take the floor now.
Hello, hello.
Sorry about earlier.
Like, the moment I clicked on mute, it died on me, man.
It froze.
And I had to close it, open it up again.
But it's all good.
It's all good.
I've been enjoying the pitches.
Yeah, you're here now.
So, it's all good.
Okay, okay.
So, the name is Kaifka, or Christos.
I'm a 30-year-old software engineer, and I'm from Greece.
I've been in Web3 since about 2017.
Back then, I was a crypto miner.
So, I ran GPUs at home a lot.
Then I got out of that.
Then everything crashed.
A few things happened.
Long story short, it's like September of 21 when I got into NFTs.
My first one was actually on Cardano.
As crazy as that is, things over there were cheap, and the transactions fees were nothing.
So, I was playing around.
And long story short, I got hooked.
Then I got on Ethereum.
I minted my first NFT.
It was a rag.
Sheesh.
But back then, Discord communities used to thrive.
Like, it was that time when people were chatting day and night, grinding non-stop for the Discord levels,
which usually meant whitelist, which back then used element profit.
Since I really enjoyed that, and I was actually quite good, I ended up becoming a moderator in one of my first communities.
One of the first I joined.
And I haven't really stopped since then.
I've been a moderator for multiple projects.
Some did well, some not.
I've been a community manager.
Eventually, I got to Solidity.
Started working as a developer.
And this brings us to the last few months, where I've been focusing on building the Definity Humans brand,
where I'm the founder and the CTO.
Onto the pitch.
I'll split this into two distinct parts.
First, the NFT PFP project.
So, specifically, the Definity Humans project.
We will be minting on the Ethereum blockchain.
The max supply will be 2,222.
We're planning to start on the 20th of April for 20.
Hey, yo!
And the mint price will be roughly 50 US dollars.
Of course, in Ethereum, whatever that is at the time, probably 0.03, something close to that.
Now, for the PFP project.
First of all, we have amazing artwork, if I can say so myself, that will play a key role in our story crafting initiatives.
We have a passive staking system, which is also the community point system.
That ties into a marketplace for the usual goodies, be it Web2 thingies, Web3 NFTs, raffles, anything we can throw on there.
We have an active staking system.
It's meant to be revenue sharing.
Tough story.
So, with all the laws and regulations and everything changing rapidly, we've changed the system probably 10 times by now.
And I have multiple good to go.
But we're trying to end up with something that's highly adjustable so we can deploy it and keep it for years and just adjust it enough to be on the good side of the law.
So, it will take a little bit longer, but it's going to be there.
Finally, we'll have presence in various metaverses for competitions, entertainment, and live events.
Yes, various.
So, we're not building one.
We have a lot of other things to build.
But we will build on top of a few existing ones through development kits just to get assets, accessories, clothing models, and these kinds of things in them and have some fun.
Now, on to the brand.
The brand essentially has three core pillars.
We have story crafting and role playing.
We have PC and mobile gaming.
And we have education.
As well as a side hustle, which is a clothing and accessory line.
I'll talk about that a bit later.
So, pillar one, story crafting and role playing.
Initially, that breaks down into two comic book series, physical collectibles, a physical card game in the style of Monskin.
That will, of course, tie into our art as well as parts of our story crafting.
And D&D style worlds and homebrew systems for role playing purposes.
Then the PC and mobile gaming breaks down again initially to a competitive gaming leaderboard system we have designed, which will be utilizable as service.
And it will be a product for the brand.
Initially, we're implementing that in a series of highly accessible, simple skill-based games.
You can think Dookie does.
So, infinite runners, infinite climbers.
And we plan to use those games to onboard multiple communities and create a nice gamified mega community, let's say.
But again, it's also a product.
Eventually, we'll shift into the auto-battler and card game genre, where we are on the drawing board with a game.
You can think of Super Auto Pets or TFT, along with any deck-building game, really.
That's the part of card games we're pulling in.
Now, this will not be play-to-earn, not even close.
There will be competitive gaming leagues, and some of them will be Web3 gated.
Other than that, it's Web2 game.
We will implement some cosmetic features based on Web3 NFTs and so on, but they won't be functional.
Finally, education.
The educational platform will have a free and a premium tier.
The premium tier is subscription-based, so normal monthly, by yearly, yearly subscriptions.
There will also be, again, Web3 gating.
So, our own Genes NFTs will always act as subscriptions.
You connect with a wallet, you have one of those, you get in.
And we might implement NFTs from other communities based on business-to-business deals.
Now, the free side will have core Web3 lessons, targeting mostly people new to the space to provide easy and safe onboarding.
This has a lot of synergy with our gaming branch, where all of our games will also be fully accessible,
and all the leaderboards will be token-gated.
So, we're hoping to pull in a lot of gamers and give them an actual reason to get into Web3 and see this side of gaming, let's say.
Now, we'll have advanced lessons revolving around Web3 technology, history, and ongoing regulations,
as well as lessons to tell us about programming, both Web2 and Web3, so from a simple website to a contract,
as well as art, physical, digital, generative, and a bit of AI.
I mean, if it's going to take over, it may as well, you know, draw some nice things for us.
And now, a little bit about the clothing and accessory line.
It will be designed and manufactured in Greece.
We have kind of an external business deal going on about that, so it's not 100% art brand, but it's a subsidiary, or, well, not exactly.
It's an external kind of dealership.
Anyway, that will be targeted specifically to part and festival goers.
And, of course, we'll have classic T-shirts and hoodies and all that.
That's the easy part.
So, the PFP project, being our genius collection, will always be a part of anything and everything the brand is doing.
And we'll have elevated access to features, products, and services we release.
We'll receive kickbacks in one form or another, be it the active staking, through the passive staking,
or some other system will come up.
And we'll always receive discounts on some of our subscription-based things that will not be directly included.
But, yeah, that's all from me.
Again, I'm Kafka, the founder and CTO of Definitely Humans.
I'm very, very sorry for the super long pitch.
I know.
God damn.
And I'm open to any tall questions.
Thank you so, so much.
Go Web3.
Go Web3, definitely.
So, thank you, Definitely Humans, for sort of coming up there.
I don't think there could possibly be any questions after that.
That was a very informative pitch all around.
That's not an insult on you.
I'm just saying you're very good coming up here.
It's very engaging.
It was very funny as well.
So, thank you for giving that pitch to us there.
And definitely, thank you for waiting.
So, everybody, go into the Definitely Humans Discord.
Check out what they're doing, what they're building.
And, of course, anybody that comes up and says their name in a space and is in actually participating in spaces like these,
you just know that they're the trustworthy builders of Web3.
They're the ones who you want to be involved with or the next blue chips.
So, thank you, Definitely Humans, for coming up here and letting us know all about your project.
Yeah.
Next, that is it.
That's everything for a slice of pie.
That's everything for Slice Sunday number seven.
Thank you to all the projects who have come up here and spoken about their projects.
Some had to leave.
They've already messaged me behind the scenes saying that it was a great space.
And I do agree.
We kept an audience of about 40 people the entire way through.
So, that is absolutely, you know, that's huge for our project.
We have about 680 Twitter followers.
So, holding spaces where that many stay and that many actually engage,
it just sort of shows that people want to be involved in what we have to offer.
Remember, the two pieces of alpha that I have coming out is that we have our pre-sale opening on the 8th of April.
And the other piece of alpha is anybody who mince an NFT,
we will be starting monthly payments for passive income for anybody who holds a slice of pie NFT.
That is coming from our investment pool, which is already working.
It's already making gains.
This week alone, we have made, I think it's $600, $400.
I think it was last week.
Yeah, $400 this week.
The week before that, we made $650.
So, we've just grown it by $1,000 in two weeks.
That will just keep going and going.
If we just accrue these percentage returns that we're actually getting these full months
that we've been running this investment pool into this $2,600 pool,
we'll double it by the time May comes.
We'll double it again by the time June comes.
And then from there, we'll just diversify and make ourselves as safe as possible,
just making this consistent passive income for our NFT holders.
So, apologies if you do hear me a bit clogged up.
But PirateJ, I see you just put up your hand.
So, if you want to add anything or ask a question, please go ahead.
I got a question for you, actually, because I've been messaging your guys on Discord and
everything else.
Is there a limit on how many can be minted on your side?
Per, like, transaction, in this pre-sale, you can select up to 25 NFTs.
But, no, you can mint the entire collection if you like.
You can mint up to 100.
The more you hold, the bigger the share in this investment pool, as well as any giveaways
we do.
You will have that many entries into the giveaways.
The people who are winning the giveaways are the ones who hold 25 and 30 NFTs as well.
So, if you want to hold 100, then you'll be entered 100 times into any holder giveaway
we do.
And then, also, you'll get 100 times the passive income that we give per NFT.
So, no, there's no upper limit except for that 25, but you can just enter the form again.
You can enter it 5, 10 times if you want.
Perfect.
There we go, my mic.
I just got glitched off the app there.
I swear, if we got kicked off and rugged right at the end, I would have been very disappointed.
But this comes to the end.
We are just going up to the two-yard work.
That is perfect.
The perfect length for a space.
Next week will be an exception.
We will have a huge space next week.
We'll be starting it earlier.
People can join in.
We'll bring up projects at different times.
I've gone through the list of who we want to get involved.
If anybody in there, or as our speakers at the minute, or anybody in the audience knows
a project that you want to get involved in this huge space we're having for Slice Saturday,
not Slice Sunday, next weekend, then definitely DM me on Twitter or message me on Discord at
YSAGE.
But right now, what do we do?
We go into the Discord and we all murder each other.
So, we play Rumble, Royale.
We play usually about three games, giving away our Discord token, which is called $ASOP.
And this $ASOP coin actually can be used to purchase Solana rewards and NFT rewards in
our Discord.
It's sort of an engaged-to-earn bot that we have in our Discord that's been super successful.
People can go onto our Discord, be engaging and earning and completing quests, and then buying
actual Solana this week alone, or in the past 10 days, probably now.
We have given away, what would it be, over three Solana, I think, in just giveaways for
people who have been grinding ASOP.
But we've only had this system out for three weeks, so as more people grind and grind, we'll
add more things to the store.
And then once we get the mint funds in, we'll be increasing the store as well.
So, that is another bit of exciting news that you just didn't even know about a slice of
pie, but now you do.
Go in the Discord and you'll find out even more information, I'm sure.
But if you're not going in the Discord to find out information, you're going in there to
murder each other, okay?
We will be playing games, I think, about eight o'clock we'll start the game.
So, if you're not there at that time, you will be missing out.
But thank you all for sort of joining today.
And if you don't have anything else to add, if you don't have any questions, then I'll
just end the space, and then we'll catch it next Saturday in Slice Saturday, number eight.
It doesn't look like anybody else has any questions.
That's perfect.
We will just end it.
Thank you all for joining.
We are at the one hour and 56 minute mark, so that is absolutely perfect.
And good night, everyone, or goodbye.
And it's probably lunchtime around Bird Builders time, so enjoy your lunch.
Goodbye, everybody.
Have a great day.
Appreciate you having us.
No, perfect.
See you later.
